I thought the idea is you don't need to water it.

yes. I agree. I don't know the specifics of your project, but think that in general, in a dry climate, using a hugulkultur as a windbreak would so greatly increase it's surface evaporation and plant body transpiration that it would defeat having the mound be a hugulkultur, and might be better to establish this feature as a berm.The issue we had with this was if we did that, it was counter to the wind and we needed the hugel as a dual purpose wind break.....its a shame we can't do it all in an ideal sense!

Good thinking Tyler. The rocks and cactus might also condense water to give some moisture back to the mound, particularly if the rocks are not sun-ward facing (which would increase heat/drying to the bed in a warm climate...).Perhaps the windward side could be covered with rocks, if available, to help preserve moisture. Or large cactus such as Prickly Pear.
